Excuse my ignorance (I'm fairly new to machine embroidery) but what does FSL stand for?

..I'm guessing 'free standing lace' ?????

Yes -- so I am assuming you understand what that is. Once you stitch out a design, you may not want to stop stitching! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

you are so right! Once you learn fsl you'll soon become addicted! I use 2 layers of the wss ( not the clear kind,the fabricish kind). Make sure the design you're using is made for fsl as they are digitized differently so the design stays together. When youre finished run the design under water or soak in a bowl to get the wss out. lay flat and leave to dry. It's very easy. You'll love it!

BTW, you do FSL ITH with WSS :-) LOL (he he) By the way, you do free standing lace in the hoop with water soluble stabilizer - laugh out loud - he he! I couldn't resist!
